SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 776,742, dated December 6, 1904.

Application tiled December 19, 1903. Serial No. 185,795. (No model.)

Be it known that l, HENRY C. HINGHCLIEF, a citizen ot' the United States, residing' in New York city, borough ot' Brooklyn, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvel'nents in Printers Galleys, ol which the following is a specilication.

rlhe object of my invention is to provide an improved stop-bar for printers g'alleys adapt ed to permit the ready adjustment et' the same toward and from the type.

My invention comprises the novel details of improvement that will be more fully hereinafter set forth and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying` drawings, forming part hereof, wherein- Figure l is a perspective view, partly broken, of a printers galley provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 is an under side view of the stop-bar. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through the same on the line 3 3 in Fig. 5. Fig. 4 is a partly-broken detail view of one end thereof. Fig. 5 is a cross-section on theline 5 in Fig. 4, and Fig'. 6 is a partlybroken detail view of a modified stop-bar.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views.

ln the drawings the numeral 1 indicates a galley, which may be made oi' any suitable construction and which is shown provided with the upturned end wall 1L and side walls l", and at 2 is indicated generally my improved stop-bar adapted to lit between the side walls of the galley. As shown, said stopbar is hollow and substantially rectangular in outline and is provided at its ends with oven hanging lips or webs 2, providing spaces between the ends of its side walls and such lips to receive the sides lb ot' the galley, whereby the stop-bar is guided to travel along the latter and held from displacement laterally. 1n the form shown the stopbar is composed oll metal bent into channel form, having a top wall 2b and sides 2 2d, the lips 2 being bent down from the top 2h. Within the stop-bar 2 and extending lengthwise thereof is a strip or plate 3, preferably of spring metal and oli' such length as to bear firmly against the sides l" of the galley when the stop-bar is in the same to lock the stop-bar in various positions ot' adjust1nenttl1at is to say, the strip 3 is longer than the main body oi' the stop-bar 2. The strip 3 is adapted to be bent laterally within the stop-bar 2 to loosen or relieve its ends from pressure on the sides l" of the galley to permit the stop-bar 2 to be moved along the latter'. To permit access oi the linger to the strip or spring 3, the stop-bar 2 is shown provided with an opening' at 4, which is shown locatedin the top land side Qutliereoi.

The strip or spring 3 is held in position within the stop-bar 2, as shown in Figs. l to 5, so as to have lateral movement and `freedom of adjiiistment longitudinally by means of lugs or webs 5, located within the stop-bar 'and between the sides Q 2 and shown provided with bent ends 5, secured to top 2" by rivets or the like 6, all so arranged as to provide spaces 7 between said lugs and the wall 2c, in which the strip or spring 3 lies loosely. Said webs or lugs have toes 5b, upon which the strip or spring 3 rests and whereby the latter is retained within the stop-bar 2. The edges oi' the lugs 5. against which the strip or spring 3 lies, form abutments or'lulerums for the spring', whereby when the linger is placed in the opening' i oi the stop-bar and the strip or spring' is pressed away from the wall 2" the spring will be bent between the lugs 5 to shorten the distance between its ends. and thereby relieve the pressure oi the ends oil? the spring against the sides lb of the galley, whereby the stop-bar 2 is permitted adjustment along the latter, and when the strip or spring is released it will straighten and press against the sides 1b to hold the stop-bar firmly in adjusted position.

ln Figs. 1 to 5 the stop-bar 2 is shown o'lE such length as to extend across the galley, while in Fig. 6 the stop-bar is of less length to provide for holding type matter that is narrower than the galley. This short stopbar is also shown in Fig. l. In this case I have shown the stop-bar provided with the lip 2, which is extended beyond the plane of the stop-bar for the purpose of holding the same more rigidly on one side lb oi" the galley, and the strip or spring 3 is shown as secured to the side 2c by a rivet 8, but ol such l'OO length from the rivet to the opposite end as to bear firmly against the side lb of the g'alley, the strip or spring 3 lying in line with the opening 4. To adjust this short stop-bar along the galley, the spring 3 is pressed inwardly, which causes the end of the strip to be released from the side lb, and then when the stop-bar is adjusted the strip or spring is released and bears again against the side 1l.

In using my improvements the stop-bar is placed within the galley so that its lip or lips 2 overlie the side or sides lb, the strip or spring 3 being bent to permit insertion of the stop-bar and then released, and when type matter is placed in the galley against the wall lu the stop-bar may be pushed up against such matter to lock the latter in the galley. The long and short stop-bars permit the holding simultaneously in the galley of type matter of different widths.

Modifications may be made in the details of construction shown and described without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having now described my invention, what I claim isl. A galley provided with a stop-bar comprising metal in hollow form having a movable strip or spring' located within the hollow bar adapted to bear against the side wall of the galley and having an end free to be bent sidewise to release the pressure on said side wall, substantially as described.

2. A galley provided with a stop-bar having a strip or spring loosely connected therewith adapted to bear against the opposite sides of the galley, and means to cause the ends of the strip or spring to be bent sidewise to relieve pressure on such sides when the strip or spring is bent between its ends, substantially as described.

3. A stop-bar for a galley provided with a lip extending in line with one end thereof providing a space to receive the side of a galley, and a strip or spring carried by the stop-bar adapted to bear against such side of the galley and having an end free to be bent sidewise to release pressure on such side, substantially as described.

4. A stop-bar for a galley comprising metal bent into hollow form and having a lip to engage the side wall oi' a galley and a strip or spring' connected with said bar and having an end arranged to bear against such side of the galley and having its end free to be bent sidewise to release the bar, substantially as described.

5. A stop-bar Jfor a galley comprising material bent into hollow form and provided with an opening', a strip located within said bar and of such length as to bear against the sides of a galley, the width of the space within such bar being suicient to permit the spring to be bent sidewise to relieve pressure on the sides of the galley, substantially as described.

6. A stop-bar for a galley having abutments, a spring extending within said bar and lying' against said abutments adapted to bear at its ends against the sides of a galley, and means to hold said spring in the said bar, the spring being arranged to be bent sidewise between its ends and to bear against said abutments to relieve its pressure against the sides of a galley, substantially as described.

7. A stop-bar for a galley comprising metal bent into hollow form and having lips at its ends providing' spaces to receive the sides of a galley, lugs within said bar, a strip or spring located within said bar and having its ends extended beyond the ends of the bar to engage the sides of a galley, said bar being provided with an opening alined with said spring to permit the latter to be bent between its ends, substantially as described.

8. A stop-bar for a galley provided with means to embrace a side of a galley, and a spring' carried by the bar and extending lengthwise thereof, said spring having its end extended into position to engage said side, and such end being free to be bent in the direction of travel of the bar, a space being provided to permit the spring to be bent sidewise to relieve pressure on said side of the galley, substantially as described.
